This was a really nice motel in a great, walkable location to the CBD. It reminded me of the townhouse we used to rent in a similar location - very well equipped, and perfect for friends or a family to call home whilst visiting the garden city

Good location right near the heart of Christchurch. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. The only negative was the fact the toilet and bedrooms were on the third floor which made it a bit difficult for my 75 year old Mum.
